Joe Montana was the voice of reason when there was nothing but chaos around him during a game.
He threw for 40,551 yards and 273 touchdowns in his career, making the Pro-Bowl eight times and winning back-to-back MVP titles in 1989 and 1990.
But the biggest reason why Montana is the best of all time is his record in Super Bowls, where he won all four he contested, including three MVP trophies, with a passer rating of a staggering 127.8.
